THOMAS FENWICK, according to tradition, was a Scotchman, which seems corroborated by his having usually spelled his name "Finwick," the early Scotch orthography, and having named two of the grants received by him in Somerset County, Mary land, "Scottish Plot" and "Dum fries." The arms of the Fenwick family of Scotland are recorded in Bury's "Encyclopædia et Heraldica" as gu. a phoenix arg. in flames ppr. The following armorials are deposited at the Lyon Office, Edinburgh: Workman's MSS. 1567, folio 87: Fynwyk-A phoenix arg. in flames or." (The omission of the color of the field is sup plied by next reference.) Pont's MSS. 1624: "Fenwick, of that Ilk. Gu. a phoenix arg. in flames or." Sir Patrick Home's MSS. 1723: "Finwick. Gu. a phoenix arg. burning in a nest ppr." J. Hooke Campbell's MSS. 1793. Gentleman's MSS.: "Fenwick, of that Ilk. Phoenix arg. in flames or." (This appears to be a copy of the Workman armorial, as it contains the same omission of the color of the field.) Thomas Fenwick was born circa 1630-40. The first reference to him in America is in "Southern Quakers and Slavery, by Stephen B. Weeks, Ph.D. Baltimore, 1896." Page 23, note: |
